Airport Way lane restrictions ignored

Traffic restrictions along Airport Way since construction began on I-5 has limited passenger vehicles to the left lane so large trucks and buses can have the right lane. But many motorists have ignored these restrictions, driving freely in both lanes.

Hirakawa said there are no plans for any special enforcement of the restrictions.

“We’re not going to bust heads for the sake of busting heads,” he said. “The traffic is flowing fine.”

He said the city has not received any complaints from transit or freight companies.
